HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your husband, if your husband does not have history of any allergic condition then the mesh would be the reason for that you have to talk to the surgeon, mean while the allergic symptoms need to be treated with the "Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day" hope this information helps you, have nice day.
